This actually relaxes me…wasn’t expecting that
When I ordered my Shakti mat, I really wasn’t expecting much. I saw a sponsored ad for it, and I read all the “this hurts but if you stick through it, it’ll be worth it” comments and I thought, sure why not, I’ll try it. I work an office job and am battling some health things, so my tension is through the roof. I will try anything to help with that. So…bed of nails? Sure why not.Totally glad I did.I’m using the original shakti mat (not the “light” one nor the “advanced”). I use it on the floor and I don’t use a fabric barrier. The first time I used it, laying down on it was a bit of a shock (also, I watched a video of how to lay on it and how to get back up…I highly recommend doing that). It was very, very sharp and while it was uncomfortable, I wouldn’t say it was painful. Now, I have a pretty high threshold for pain so I can see where this wouldn’t be for everyone, but for me, it was quite tolerable. After about 15 seconds, the sharpness went away and ultimately I ended up very relaxed.I spend usually 15-20 minutes on the mat. Usually I listen to music, sometimes I’ll do a guided meditation. But no matter what I do, I find that after that time has elapsed, I feel much less frantic, and much more relaxed after having laid down on the shakti mat. Now whether that’s due to being on 6,000 pins, or whether it’s due to 15-20 minutes of quiet peace, I can’t say for sure. But I can say that meditation on its own has never had such an effect. So for me, the combination is working.I highly recommend trying this, if you’re like me and you carry tension around like it’s your job.Side note: I bought the pillow too but it doesn’t work for me. I’m very short (5’0) so the pillow is too high for me to rest comfortably. I realized, though, that because I’m short, I can put a normal pillow under the end of the shakti mat and I still get full coverage from my lower back all the way up my neck to my head (I prefer it to stop at the top of my neck, so this is actually perfect).

I could not love this more!
I recently tore my teres major and have been in excruciating pain. This mat has been a Godsend. It has helped alleviate the pain so much more than anything else. This mat is now a part of my nightly bed time routine and I couldn’t love it more. I just ordered one for my 11- year-old daughter! She loves it too!

Surprisingly awesome
This is not for everyone. It has definitely taken some getting used to. I do not use this thing everyday. Not by a longshot. Maybe I would see even greater benefits if I did. However, this has been an incredible tool for stress relief. I have used this when I was feeling so much stress that I could barely breathe. Laying down on this helped me to be able to relax enough to take full breaths again.

I love my shakti mat! It took a few tries to get used to it, but have found it helps a ton getting to sleep. It may be worth trying Level 1 first if you are new to Shakti though. Love this mat!

Sans contesque, l’efficacité et de très bon matériaux pour cette conception !
